The Deadfire Shanties ~ Faithful Sailor

[@bongosmcdongos4190]

Y'know when this starts playing I won't dock at port. I just sit and enjoy it

[@tilran]

Damn right my friend!

[@garrettlaundry357]

Same.

[@deadbyatree]

Always

[@Ybrethar]

This is why I keep my crew morale high!

[@TheStapleGunKid]

Man these sea shanties were awesome. It's amazing how without any actual music, these still give the game one of the best soundtracks in modern times.

[@CreamZen93]

it was on a cold and stormy night the snow was on the ground a sailor boy stood on the key his ship was outward bound his sweetheart standing by his side had many a silent tear and as he pressed her to his heart he whispered in her ear farewell farewell my own true love this parting gives me pain i'll be your own true guiding light when i return again my thoughts shall be of you, of you when the storm is riding high farewell my love remember i'm your faithful sailor boy it was in a gale that ship set sail he kissed his love goodbye she watched their craft 'till out of sight 'till a tear bedimmed her eye and she prayed to ondra in the deeps to guide them on their way those loving parting words that night re-echoed in her ear farewell farewell my own true love this parting gives me pain i'll be your own true guiding light when i return again my thoughts shall be of you, of you when the storm is riding high farewell my love remember i'm your faithful sailor boy but sad to say that ship returned without that sailor boy oh he died whilst out upon their voyage and the flag was half-mast high and his comrades when they came on shore told her that he was dead and a letter he had sent to her the last line sadly said farewell farewell my own true love life's done for me farewell i soon shall be from storm and sea deep in the dark of hel i hope we meet on the wheel's next turn when life's begin anew where you will be united with your faithful sailor boy

[@suremaine]

Ahhh this cuts deep. Love it.

[@Coypop]

I'm not crying you're crying. I'm crying.

[@TheDarkkilla12]

We’re all crying.

[@slyrooster1241]

This is my favorite rendition of the song, Nils my man you're awesome!

[@luciusfox8731]

do never listen this while you drunk... in a moment i felt like im in a real ship

[@dansiepman9531]

drunk currently and listening to this...it's beautiful. It hurts and I'm sad and in this moment, I am in Eora.

[@THEbROCKol]

I can't... i can't fuckin do it... i cry every time i hear this.. i don't know why

[@nicholaswebber6694]

*sniff , drink up yer grog bois. This one's a real tearjerker.

[@nejiefelipe]

nills you did such a good job on this, damn!! wish you posted some backstage of it...

[@nilsbrownmusic4507]

Thank you! It was quite a week..A lot of responsibility for arranging and rehearsing, while singing at the same time. Great support from Obsidian, with producer Josh Sawyer singing along and giving guidance even. Bought us lunch too! Brilliant. I’ve never felt danger for my voice so strong though, the last hour of that session. It was all done in one day in the end. Gave it all.. I’m really happy people like it!!!

[@cavejohnsonful]

Nils, great work!

[@christoprince2673]

I just installed the game again just for the music

[@Arcanyum]

in my playthrough i`m romancing xoti with my kind wayfarer. And there was this time when this shantie started and i imagined them both embracing each other while leaning on the ship`s parapet and the saw this and started singging for them

[@DGenHero]

That's so beautiful.

[@bellehecate2641]

Man this song always makes me emotional.

[@lordscott7552]

I never played this game, but I found the shanties because nils did assassins creed, and I freaking love them all

[@LuciferCode0]

Why I am crying 😭 such sweet memories with Poe 1 and 2 wish they make Poe 3

[@KingLich451]

I absolutely love these

[@breezyillo2101]

i pour one out for the dead sailor homies everytime this plays. Just hits different.

[@Staringathesun]

Yo, this one is kinda rough.

[@cosmicdj9542]

Staringathesun i feel you on this one

[@davidbodor1762]

Yeah that ending is pretty damn sad...

[@FlightOverRio]

thats what makes it so good, bittersweet and shocking

[@marcoboscarol2420]

Fuck I imagined a scene where a beckoner chanter MC was singing for Vera dead parrot and my eyes got watery :'-(

[@lobobbybobalot]

reminds me of some dubliner tracks

[@cashoutmurkn]

⚓️⚓️

[@svetlanamalavina4350]

Do you get this shantie only when crew has low role? Cuz my guys sing about run and Huana stew mostly хD

[@nataliaarias4992]

Maybe you give them mostly alcohol (?

[@InternaIRevenueService]

This is dumb, i know no-one will see this how many years later. I stll hum and sing this song to this day. My body may be on land, but my heart was lost somewhere in the seas

[@tiagoback]

Is this based on a real life song?

[@chazzwozzio]

Tiago Back it is. Faithful sailor boy

[@lindenrose8626]

Haul away for Rosie is another one

[@dxhtz]

"based on"..exactly...it's The Faithful Sailor Boy..I took the tune from the version by a Reg Pyett from the collection Many a Good Horseman, Norfolk and Suffolk folk-song "field-recordings". It's the best version of the melody I know of. Words have a few changes.

[@davidbodor1762]

@Nils Brown I don't remember Ondra being in the original song =))

[@chazzwozzio]

@@davidbodor1762 they alter a few words to fit the setting.

[@lucys552]

dit is zo afschuwelijk nichterig
